Mario joined Swan Hellenic as VP of Marketing in 2020, renewing and relaunching the heritage brand globally. In September 2022, he took on the role of General Manager UK & Ireland, building a strong team and establishing the Swan Hellenic brand as the undisputed leader in cultural expedition cruising.

His achievements at Swan Hellenic build on extensive experience in strategic leadership and brand development across the travel and hospitality sectors, including senior marketing positions at Royal Caribbean, ebookers.com and The Langham Hotel, London. 

With many of his family still living in Greece, Mario can often be found travelling between there and his home on the South Coast of the UK. Looking to the future, he’s keen to complete the Inca Trail in South America and explore Antarctica.  

Outside the office, Mario likes to stay active by running and cycling and has completed the renowned London to Brighton route numerous times for his chosen charities. When not running or cycling, he likes nothing more than shaking up a Margarita cocktail and relaxing by the sea.
